The Grand Finale

This is a big week in for my family. As some of you know, we found out that mom has cancer at the very end of June and this is the week that she finally has her surgery to hopefully remove it all. Of course, as in everything, we are trusting the Lord to sustain us through this and since we know that He is in control I can say that we have all been holding up pretty well. Oh, don't get me wrong, we have had our moments, but then God lifts us up and gives us the strength to carry on.

So last night we had a kind of celebration for making it to this week and a kind of closing finale to our mini family reunion. As in any Harris family gathering, we laughed a lot and just enjoyed being together. Here is a picture of our crew minus Pratt as he so wonderfully and graciously stayed at home with the children (Thanks honey! You are the best!!!).

My dad was very impressed with the relaxing atmosphere and good food that we enjoyed at Corks and we all loved the wonderful service from Benjamin and Josh.

Mom, we love you and are praying for you!! We will be with you every step of the way. You have been so faithful to take care of us all these years and we are looking forward to being able to take care of you for a change:)
